Bagent exposure in primetime, Bears are 10 point dogs to Chargers

nice of tirico, collinsworth, and mccauley have a nice chuckle about what an obvious intentional grounding that was but the bears are too feckless to get a call

This game has made me more convinced, not less, that he's the best QB on the roster.

I saw the Kansas City game, which was exacty liket his one but Fields was worse.

So what are the chances the Bears could put Bagent on a strength training program in the off-season and get him to at least adequate arm strength?  From what I have seen, I think that's really the only thing holding him back (but it's holding him back A LOT).

In their defense, do you think it would matter,?

 

narratives be damn, the Bears suck

I don't think he needs strength training. I think he needs better mechanics.   Which *could* be fixable over time, but I'm not gonna sit around and wait for him.

But the chiefs are good.

Kansas City didn't have the literal worst pass defense in football.

Is that really something that you can significantly affect?  Feels like you either have NFL arm talent or you don’t.

It’s not muscles, it’s ability. He doesn’t have it. You don’t just learn how to thrown a football in your 20s.

Neither does San Diego. Unless we're stat-scouting.

Fields had 99 passing yards, 4.5 YPA, 58.7 QB rating

Bagent has 165 passing yards, 7.2 YPA, 71.8 QB rating

It's not like we're 1 or 2 games into the season. The numbers are what they are. Their pass defense sucks. 

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Then again, you could argue that Bagent isn't *enough* better than Fields for it to matter when Fields has much higher upside.

That was my question really. Is there any precedent for a guy making a substantial leap in strength/mechanics after being in the league?

brady because of his cheating regimen

Bagent is gonna get a good chance to stat-pad

That was gonna be my answer. It's been awhile but I recall Brady being a big rag-armed his first couple seasons.

[Tryptamine]

Still running the ball. This should be an immediately fireable offense. 

[Irrelevant Dude]

Hit Mooney in the hands and it turned into an interception.  But he had one coming anyway.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

There's been some route-jumping tonight.

Make that a 57.2 QB rating against a team that gives up 310 yards a game through the air. Meanwhile KC opponents average 176.1 which is the 2nd fewest in the league.

Mooney should probably be traded for a 6 or something. You need to make that catch.

Could you? I mean if you were able to, would you?

 

none of that horsefeathers matters tho after that pick, that guy wearing #17 will be lucky to ever  throw a Td pass again after that int
